sql server - What is TDS Protocol Version 8.0 and why should I use it? -


i've been using freetds 8.0 protocol time connect mssql database, , things have worked great. but, recently, things started not work great. i'll spare details.

so decided needed know bit more, , bit confused following:

does freetds support microsoft servers?

yes. microsoft servers don't accept tds 5.0 connections. use 1 of versions 4.2, 7.0 or 8.0 of protocol. see user guide details.

user guide

[no mention of 8.0 anywhere on page.] 

so, tds protocol version 8.0 , why should use it?

freetds "version 8" version 7.1. unfortunately, have @ "history of tds versions" page figure out, here's explanation there:

earlier freetds documentation referred versions 7, 8 , 9. microsoft subsequently published protocol specification document denoting 7.1 , 7.2, , 1 finds scattered references using scheme elsewhere, too. reason, freetds switched microsoft's nomenclature.
